DLTK's Crafts for KidsEasy Tiger Craft

You can use the same template/instructions to make a kitty cat
craft... just paint it a different color (like grey, white or black)

I've had a lot of requests for more paper plate crafts. This
Tiger is made with a paper plate. I've provided templates for dinner sized and snack
sized plates. If you don't have paper plates, don't fret! Just take a regular
plate and trace it onto a piece of cardboard (old cereal boxes work great!) or use a
margarine/ice cream container lid.

You can easily make a mask, by leaving off the eyes and cutting
holes. Attach (glue and tape) a popsicle stick or unsharpened pencil to the bottom
for the child to hold it to their face.Older children may prefer the toilet paper
roll version (Age 3+) as it is more challenging (although some days it's nice to have
an easy craft on hand when supper's running a bit late!)

Picture instructions - how we did
our tiger:

Paint Plate orange and let dry

Draw stripes on with marker or paint

Color stripes in

Glue on face (paper ears, eyes and nose.We used bits of wool
for mouth)

Materials:

it all depends on what option you use... You'll will need

either

paper plate (whatever size)

cardboard cut into a circle OR

margarine or ice cream container lid

either

orange paint,

orange construction paper OR

orange tissue paper

either

black paint, OR

black marker

Instructions:

Paint your paper plate orange

OR

glue orange construction/tissue paper onto it (rip 1 inch (ish)
squares of construction/tissue paper and glue them on with a mixture of 1/2 water and 1/2
regular children's white glue. This is sort of like mod podging)

MAKE THE FACE

Print out the template of choice. Colour (where appropriate)
and cut out the template pieces. (Younger children may require assistance with the
cutting.)

Or skip the template and cut/draw your own pieces on construction
paper and glue them on.

Draw a mouth with black marker or paint (see photo) or glue bits of
wool in a mouth shape (this is what we did)
